It is very striking that some works are being carried out on Cándida Carbonell street in Dénia, expanding the sidewalk on one side, in the vicinity of the Maristas College. In Gent of Dénia We assume that it will be for the safety of pedestrians, but the reality is that these works force taxis to move to Magallanes street, a place with little visibility for users. On the other hand, they affect parents who take their children to school, since they cannot stop to drop them off. The problem with widening the sidewalk is that it leaves insufficient space for two vehicles to pass through, which contributes to traffic jams.
Gent de Dénia does not agree with the statements made by the mayor of Citizen Security who asks that children walk to school; Obviously, there are children who come from the Marinas, the Montgo o the Routes and this becomes unfeasible. With which, these works do not benefit schoolchildren to say that they should walk, as they do in other schools of the minor local entity of Jesús Pobre, when a 45-minute parking lot is requested on Magallanes street distributed during the day in the hours of entry and collection of children.
In Dénia there are many people who live on the outskirts and need to take the children by car. Precisely the Maristas school houses more than 500 students, so nothing extraordinary is being asked, except during the duration of the works.
It is necessary to stop to study that the fact of removing car parks affects mobility. We do not have urban transport, parking spaces are not replaced and the few that remain are removed, taxis are relocated, there is no loading and unloading for shops in the Campos street, and a long list of nonsense.
With these measures some schools are being discriminated against; Take the example of double-lane streets where they can leave children at school. In Maristas they have only one lane and now without parking. People from Dénia do not understand this way of acting, what are they trying to achieve with all these messes in the center of the city, including schools.
Well, you are absolutely right Mario.
The problem of schools at the time of entries and exits have never been able to solve it. But if you make it worse with the reasoning of people with few views. Like almost everything.
Let the tourists come walking to Denia and we save the pollution, noise and dirt that taxis generate more.
Your comment is not well understood if it is ironic or if you mean it, but in any case, I don't know what it has to do with what Mario Vidal says.
This is the case with tourists, they park at the entrance to Denia or on the Las Marinas road (where they are going to make a new parking lot 1,5 km from the center) and they have to come walking. Which is not so bad for tourists either.
Nor does what you say about the noise and pollution of taxis make sense.
